| - It was my birthday on Saturday and I decided to come here for dinner. I was dining alone. I walked in and was not greeted with even the vaguest semblance of warmth. Just a fake half smile by the two hostesses. I asked for a table for one, to which they replied "Uh, ok..." and told me it would be 30-40 minutes - but - I could wait in the bar. Or sit at the bar, because y'know, it's empty, there are tables and no wait. I felt like they were pawning me off to the bar. I didn't state I was going to sit there and eat but since I could wait at the bar, I thought I would since there are TVs.
I waited about half an hour sitting down, and then got up to stand behind the hostess station. I'm hard of hearing and I thought it would be better that way. (Reading so far, they didn't take my name which I thought was odd but who knows how they operate.) They keep glancing at me, but make no attempt to talk or ask me anything. At all. Another 30 minutes pass, and this small group comes in and actually gives their name. I finally ask about the status of my table. The hostess puts on a fake look of surprise and sympathy and tells me "Oh, we thought you were eating at the bar!" Uh, no. I stood behind you and practically stared you down for 30 minutes. She offers to take my name - but - then tells me there are two parties in front of me. ARE YOU SERIOUS??! You still make me wait after your mistake?
I wasted an hour of my time, on my birthday, whom I had no one to share with. On top of that, it was fucking cold as shit in the lobby. Do you even have heat?? I was livid, hungry, getting tired and freezing. I did wake up the next day feeling yucky because of practically standing outside for an hour. This was, by far, THE WORST, restaurant experience I have ever had. I can't imagine ever setting foot inside your establishment again.
